Lukasz:  That certainly is a nice video.  And the bow...that beautiful bow.  From one Pol to another, I like everything about it.  I would have never thought of simple white.  It's gorgeous. 

How did you make it?  Did you document your steps?  Can you share more about the dimensions?  Core thickness/width?  Sinew layers?  Forms?  Horn?

You're killing me.  I have to have one.  I can't put it off any longer...

Very nice bow! How many laminates did you use?  - and how much sinew?

OHHHH AHHHHH......I want one too!  It looks to shoot those arrows with authority.  I really like the white and dark leather contrast. ;)
